they are discussing a measure today that would take an old ordinance a step farther including grocery and big box stores and a ban on selling tobacco in pharmacies. >> that's fine. there's other places to get cigarettes. i can understand, there's kids in grocery stores. >> i don't think the city should be able to make that decision for anyone where to buy cigarettes. >> reporter: with both measures there are fears it's the consumer who will pay. this manager thinks only select businesses will be able to absorb the cost. >> if you have a decent margin. if you are a struggling business, then you're in trouble. >> reporter: the mayor has promised to veto the alcohol fee if it does indeed pass. we actually contacted all of the supervisors today and we only heard back from one of them who we were not able to speak with on camera by our deadline, unfortunately. if they do get enough votes, though, eight votes they could override mayor newsom's veto if he does in fact do that. >> so, fee, not tax, bottom

saving money. and like baseball people love their stats. i started bringing my lunch to work -- 50 bucks a week in my pocket. here's a good one: state farm insures 40 million drivers. more than geico and progressive combined. i saved because i'm accident-free. of course, with so many ways to save

including discounts of up to 40%, having that many customers shouldn't be a surprise. so ask a neighbor about state farm, then call an agent at 1-800-state-farm or go online. well, today's tip of the day is going to be is with golden pineapple. what makes it so special, look

at this pineapple. look at that color. you can't beat it. what's great about this pineapple it has less acidity than white and more vitamin c. it's got 40% more vitamin c but you need to select and store them right. make sure the eyes are plump all around the pineapple. that's so important. and the stem of the pineapple has to be fresh and not dried up at the crown. they have to be nice and heavy for their size. store them on the counter, never in the refrigerator. these are great when you go to cook with them or you put them on ham or turkey in the oven. you know why? because the high sugar content has a natural glaze to them and they sweeten anything you enjoy with pineapple. loaded with vitamins and minerals, including vitamin c. they are fantastic. one time they were hard to find but now they are available anywhere you buy produce. i'm tony tantillo, your fresh grocer. and always remember to eat fresh and stay healthy.

>> see? he watched "hawaii five-o" last night. that's why he is in the pineapple thing. here's a different kind of jailbird in colombia.
